The distribution centre will be pre-sold to Lidl France on a forward funding basis, Goodman said.
The facility will complement Lidl’s two existing logistics centres located near Paris and consists of warehouse space, with an additional 2,327sqm of office space.
However, a spokesperson for Lidl France told just-food: “Lidl has a project to open a warehouse near to Paris. At the moment this is just a project and nothing is confirmed.”
The retailer has 21 warehouses in France and said it will open a new warehouse in Angoulême et Draguignan tomorrow, which will service its 1,500 stores.
